 Studied casters are versatile and methodical. They lack the raw explosiveness of Empowered casters, but their wide spell knowledge and deliberate preparation allow them to adapt to nearly any challenge---provided they planned ahead.  Choose one of the following Disciplines.

 Regardless of the source of your power, your casting attribute is Intellect.  You gain one training rank in the appropriate Spellcasting skill.  Choose four Power 1 spells from your chosen Discipline, and add them to your list of spells known.
-You gain one additional spell every time you gain a level.  The new spell must be chosen from your chosen Discipline, and cannot have a Power higher than your current ranks in your Spellcasting skill (//after// the upgrade).  However, you do not have all your spells prepared all the time!  After completing a [[..:rules:actions:take_a_long_rest|Long Rest]], you may choose to [[..:rules:actions:Prepare Spells]].  This will remove all the spells that you currently have prepared, and allow you to prepare a different palette of spells.  By default, you will be able to prepare spells whose total Power is equal to your level plus your Intellect bonus.
